LDSPromise Formally Launches LDSPromise.com -- An Online Relationship Service for Single Latter-day Saints

PROVO, Utah --(Business Wire)-- Oct. 1, 2004 -- Much more than the average picture-and-a-profile dating site, LDSPromise.com provides compatible matches and unique e-learning tools to help build successful relationships

Promising an environment that fosters confidence in meeting compatible dating and marriage partners online, LDSPromise(SM) today announced the formal launch of LDSPromise.com(SM), a new online relationship service designed for single members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Created and developed by A. Lynn Scoresby, Ph.D., a well-known family and child psychologist, LDSPromise.com is unlike traditional picture-and-a-profile dating sites that are known for providing vulnerable environments to dangerous predators. Instead, LDSPromise.com offers well-researched compatibility-matching algorithms, unique e-learning tools and a safer online environment designed to assist sincere single members of the LDS Church in finding compatible dating and marriage partners.

Based on 35 years of research and professional experience in relationship counseling for couples, individuals, parents and families, Scoresby has developed specific technologies and compatibility-matching algorithms that evaluate participants on scales such as gender confidence, communication effectiveness and life management competence.

"In an effort to promise confidence in the matches being made, we developed the SureMatch Compatibility(SM) test -- a program scientifically designed to identify personality type, compatibility, wants and expectations in a future spouse," Scoresby said. "The 500-plus question questionnaire is extensive, and it provides extra safety to users as it can identify if the person completing the test has dishonest intentions or has unhealthy psychological conditions."

Results of the SureMatch Compatibility test are then used to create a personality profile and matches are made using mathematical algorithms. As online relationships develop, LDSPromise.com presents participants with 12 unique e-learning programs tailored to each individual's needs. These programs help measure the progress made in forming meaningful relationships in general and/or with the person they've been matched with.

Throughout the entire relationship-building process, participants select what level of contact and interaction they feel comfortable with (e.g., e-mailing photos, talking on the phone or meeting face-to-face) and if they want the relationship to continue progressing. By following the flexible Date-Safe Communication(SM) system, a combination of tools and tips to keep participants safe during their relationship-building experience, participants can develop feelings of connection and companionship while benefiting from a safe, non-threatening environment.

"Our system is designed to let LDS singles meet fellow Latter-day Saint singles anywhere in the world and have confidence they are who they say they are, confidence they will be safe and confidence they will be well-matched," Scoresby said. "After participants are matched, we want to stay with singles by supporting the improvement and development of relationship skills throughout the entire relationship, which is why we've created MarriagePromise Learning(SM), a group of useful and customizable e-learning programs."

Based on his years of experience in counseling couples, Scoresby developed the MarriagePromise Learning to aid participants in developing skills necessary to becoming a competent partner in a long-term loving relationship. The e-learning program helps build the participant's self-confidence and the participant's confidence in their match.

"I am confident and elated that the unique combination of the SureMatch test, the Date-Safe Communication system and the MarriagePromise Learning tools will help many single Latter-day Saints find and develop the romantic, healthy and happy relationships they're looking for," Scoresby said.

There is no cost to take the free SureMatch personality/compatibility test at LDSPromise.com, and individuals who do so will learn about their strengths and possible blind spots in dating and relationships. They will also receive valuable insights in 21 areas of compatibility such as communication effectiveness, love and commitment and emotional competence.

Latter-day Saint singles interested in being "matched" with a potential partner by LDSPromise can do so for a monthly online subscription price of $24.95. "And I'm extremely confident that we will find you a match," Scoresby added.
